This has been my favourite assignment so far and I'm pleased that I've finished it much quicker than the previous two. I think this is partly because I found it to be written in a more straightforward way and partly because I enjoyed the freedom of working experimentally. I liked just trying out techniques with no particular images in mind, then looking at the results to see what ideas it generated. I've found I've related the results to existing drawings and it's inspired ways to revive what's not gone so well. In the past I have struggled choosing the right source drawings for projects but the more techniques I try, the more I feel able to decide what is suitable. I also thoroughly enjoyed the research point exploring the diversity of textiles and became far more engrossed than I'd anticipated. My visit to the Huddersfield Centre of Textile Excellence was so enlightening and brought home the importance of understanding the structure of textiles. Learning about the possibilities of anti-counterfeiting and multiple laser surface enhancement technologies that will change the textile industry beyond recognition in the not too distant future was mind blowing. I'm finding my learning blog invaluable. I'm organising my thoughts as I write, forming opinions, coming up with ideas and I regularly refer back to older posts for information and inspiration. My theme book has caused me some issues. Sometimes I think I've made the wrong decision in choosing family history because of the lack of things I have in front of me to draw. However, having read ahead, I can see that the source for my final assignment piece doesn't necessarily have to come from my theme book if there's something else more suitable. I've also begun to think more laterally on the subject. For example, there's no reason why I can't look into an ancestors occupation. I've discovered one was a sail maker, so maybe I could investigate some of the knots used in sail making during Assignment 4 when I look at ropes, plaits and braids? Another was a book binder and ever since the Leeds Book Fair study visit I've become interested in learning more about book binding. I've made some small sketch books, created book covers and thought about ways to present work in a book format. Collagraph print block used as a cover for print collection, stitched book cover, hand made sketch books One of the little books I've made is called a meander. I was intrigued that out of one page of A4 paper, there appears to be so much surface area. Rather than make a book with blank pages to draw on I decided to make an existing drawing into a book. I've also secured some funding from OCASA and arranged a series of three book related workshops for OCA students, so later this year we can learn paper making, print onto the paper we make and then bind it into a book.

I've made a Creator Commentary video for the third issue/chapter of Mouse Guard: The Black Axe! Please feel free to follow along in your copy of the story in either issue form of from the hardcover as I talk about the behind the scenes details, art notes, and my head-space as I go page by page and panel by panel.

Notes left in manuscripts and colophons by medieval scribes and copyists, from the Spring 2012 issue of Lapham’s Quarterly: New parchment, bad ink; I say nothing more. I am very cold. That’s a hard page and a weary work to read it. Let the reader’s voice honor the writer’s pen. This page has not been written very slowly. The parchment is hairy. The ink is thin. Thank God, it will soon be dark. Oh, my hand. Now I’ve written the whole thing; for Christ’s sake give me a drink. Writing is excessive drudgery. It crooks your back, it dims your...

Providing students with specific and timely feedback is extremely important in any subject. Why is feedback so important? In order to grow, students need to know along the way what they are doing that they should continue doing and what next steps they need in order to get on the right track. They need this throughout their learning - not just at the beginning, and the end is TOO late! Ongoing feedback is what keeps their motors running and keeps them going on the correct path. When do you have time to give feedback? This is something that I have had to play with along the way. I give feedback at different times of the day and not always at a scheduled time or day. As students enter the classroom and begin morning work is a great time. During class time when students are working on particular pieces of work. When students finish early. Any down time that you can find!!! I use rainy days to catch up, when needed. In the past, I have given feedback orally and written - primarily oral, as I taught non-readers. Now that I will be in the upper grades, I want to have something tangible that students can refer back to, to help me know what I met with them about in the past, and to help us both see growth over time. I made this quick writing commentary sheet that I hope someone else will be able to use. I plan to have students place this in their Writer's Notebook (see sheet below). The sheet focuses on the 6 Traits of writing, which will be one of the goals students will track. In addition, I have a place to mark which genre you comment on and an area for 2 stars (things they did well) and one next step (things to work on). What type of comments do you give? I like to show them what they know and what they need to work on. What is MOST important is that you are SPECIFIC! DO NOT: Great Job! Nice work! Keep it up! A+ 100%, etc... What does this tell them? Nothing. Instead DO this: You remembered to use a conjunction when combining your two sentences. Thank you for using correct punctuation. I see that you used commas in a series, but do you remember other times we need a comma? Is there a tool you can use to help you choose chunkier words? When giving feedback ALWAYS tell them something positive and something to work on. RESOURCE COMING SOON

Goodness, can’t leave you lot to your own devices for long, can I? [g] Given the amount of traffic I see in the stats for this blog and my Facebook page, I conclude that the Casting Wars are still boiling along. Well. Look. 1) People are entitled to their own opinions. Naturally, I’d prefer these opinions to be expressed—and received—civilly, but up to you, of course. I believe in the virtues of free discourse. 2) I—of course—am likewise entitled to an opinion. [cough] Now, my opinion is based on rather more information than most others expressed here, because a) I created Jamie Fraser and thus—presumably–have a pretty good idea of what he really looks and acts like. b) While I haven’t yet met Sam Heughan, I’ve seen Rather a Lot of him (about 95%, at a rough guess), both in terms of a. Photographs, and b. Film, and c. Bits and pieces, like audition tapes Naturally, everyone forms mental images while reading. Everybody. I do it when I read other […]
